Less Feeling

Dear Diary,

It is becoming difficult to pass time. I finished my household work by 7.00 AM. I assigned some story writing competition to the students of class VIII to XII. At 9.00 PM addressed the nation and asked countrymen to lit the lamp on coming Sunday at 9.00 PM. His appeal is symbolic and he may be trying to keep us active in difficult times by assigning something different. I couldn't do any more trading as the share market index is down. I started calling many people and asked them to vote for my story. It is interesting to call people and ask them to vote. Very selfish act from my side and it is like mirage. I saw many authors with a few votes but then at least there are 10 authors who are on the lead. It is very difficult for me to manage 10-20 votes. But since we are on the complete lock down, it was easier for me to call all my contacts. I got many congratulations but no vote. I tried to complete a few lessons on language course and Vedic literature. I practiced yoga and meditation in the evening not as usual. Sanju is busy watching Ramayan & Mahabharat TV serials. We have sufficient ration for next 15 days. But I am feeling quite nervous when it comes to writing. I am not getting apt words to express my feelings.

I am thinking to go outside when everything is quiet. People are sleeping. I along with my wife will go for a walk now. At least some fresh air, we do not have any covid cases. Is it a good news. Yes, may be. Now people don't want to allow any outsider to come here and any body who is here should not go outside. We don't want CORONA to enter in our state. We will need ration, fresh vegetables from outside. What will happen to our production unit if we are not allowed to send or sell it outside? What about our trade, economy and educational opportunity outside.

Let me become the author of the week, then I will find out a way to fight COVID.

Good night, Bye for now, tomorrow, I will find out some way to fight CORONA and I got sufficient material thinking or feeling for the same.
